Requirements & Responsibilities
Individuals seeking status as an Approved Supervisor for an adult under supervision for a sex offense must meet all of the requirements in Section 5.7 of the Standards.
These requirements include a criminal background check:
- An online check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigations: This can be completed online for a fee, sent via email, or given directly to the approved treatment provider.
- A Federal Bureau of Investigations criminal history check: This is completed by obtaining a fingerprint card from a third-party vendor and mailing the fingerprint card along with the required documentation to the FBI. You can request the results be sent directly to the approved supervisor.
- No code is needed to obtain the FBI check.
- Individuals will take their prints from the third-party vendor and send them directly to the FBI via mail.
